Ezekiel 44

1 And he turned me back, toward the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary, which looked toward the east. And it was closed.

斯て彼我を引て聖所の東向なる外の門の路にかへるに門は閉てあり

2 And the Lord said to me: “This gate will be closed; it will not be opened. And man shall not cross through it. For the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered through it, and it shall be closed

ヱホバすなはち我に言たまひけるは此門は閉おくべし開くべからず此より誰も入るべからずイスラエルの神ヱホバ此より入たれば是は閉おくべきなり

3 to the prince. The prince himself will sit at it, so that he may eat bread before the Lord; he will enter by the way of the vestibule of the gate, and he will depart by the same way.”

その君は君たるが故にこの内に坐してヱホバの前に食をなさん彼は門の廊の路より入りまたその路より出ん

4 And he led me in, along the way of the north gate, in the sight of the house. And I saw, and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord. And I fell upon my face.

彼また我をひきて北の門の路より家の前に至りしが視るにヱホバの榮光ヱホバの家に滿ゐたれば我俯伏けるに

5 And the Lord said to me: “Son of man, set within your heart, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I am speaking to you about all the ceremonies of the house of the Lord and about all its laws. And set your heart upon the ways of the temple, along all the exits of the sanctuary.

ヱホバわれに言たまふ人の子よヱホバの家の諸の則とその諸の法につきて我が汝に告るところの諸の事に心を用ひ目を注ぎ耳を傾け又殿の入口と聖所の諸の出口に心を用ひよ

6 And you shall say to the house of Israel, which provokes me: Thus says the Lord God: Let all your wicked deeds be sufficient for you, O house of Israel.

而して悖れる者なるイスラエルの家に言べし主ヱホバ斯いふイスラエルの家よ汝らその行ひし諸の憎むべき事等をもて足りとせよ

7 For you bring in foreign sons, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, so that they may be in my sanctuary and may defile my house. And you offer my bread, the fat, and the blood, yet you have broken my covenant by all your wicked deeds.

即ち汝等は心にも割禮をうけず肉にも割禮をうけざる外國人をひききたりて吾聖所にあらしめてわが家を汚し又わが食なる脂と血を獻ぐることを爲り斯汝らの諸の憎むべき事の上に彼等また吾契約を破れり

8 And you have not observed the precepts of my sanctuary, yet you have stationed observers of my vigil in my sanctuary for yourselves.

汝ら我が聖物を守る職守を怠り彼らをして我が聖所において汝らにかはりて我の職守を守らしめたり

9 Thus says the Lord God: Any foreigner, any foreign son who is in the midst of the sons of Israel, who is uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall not enter into my sanctuary.

主ヱホバかく言たまふイスラエルの子孫の中に居るところの諸の異邦人の中凡て心に割禮をうけず肉に割禮をうけざる異邦人はわが聖所に入るべからず

10 And as for the Levites, they have withdrawn far away from me, in the errors of the sons of Israel, and they have gone astray from me after their idols, and they have borne their iniquity.

亦レビ人も迷へるイスラエルがその憎むべき偶像をしたひて我を棄て迷ひし時に我を棄ゆきたる者はその罪を蒙るべし

11 They will be caretakers in my sanctuary, and doorkeepers at the gates of the house, and ministers to the house. They will slay the holocausts and the victims of the people. And they will stand before them, so that they may minister to them.

即ち彼らは吾が聖所にありて下僕となり家の門を守る者となり家にて下僕の業をなさん又彼ら民のために燔祭および犠牲の牲畜を殺し民のまへに立てこれに事へん

12 But because they ministered to them in the sight their idols, and they became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, for this reason, I have lifted up my hand against them, says the Lord God, and they will bear their iniquity.

彼等その偶像の前にて民に事ヘイスラエルの家を礙かせて罪におちいらしめたるが故に主ヱホバ言ふ我手をあげて彼らを罰し彼らをしてその罪を蒙らしめたり

13 And they shall not draw near to me, so as to exercise the priesthood for me, and they shall not approach to any of my holy things, which are near the Holy of Holies. Instead, they will bear their shame and their wicked deeds, which they committed.

彼らは我に近づきて祭司の職をなすべからず至聖所にきたりわが諸の聖き物に近よるべからずその恥とその行ひし諸の憎むべき事等の報を蒙るべし

14 And I will make them doorkeepers of the house, for all its ministries and for all that will be done within it.

我かれらをして宮守の職務をおこなはしめ宮の諸の業および其中に行ふべき諸の事を爲しむべし

15 But the priests and the Levites who are the sons of Zadok, who observed the ceremonies of my sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from me, these shall draw near to me, so that they may minister for me. And they shall stand in my sight, so that they may offer to me the fat and the blood, says the Lord God.

然どザドクの裔なるレビの祭司等すなはちイスラエルの子孫が我を棄て迷謬し時にわが聖所の職守を守りたる者等は我に近づきて事へ我まへに立ち脂と血をわれに獻げん主ヱホバこれを言ふなり

16 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall draw near to my table, so that they may minister for me, and so that they may observe my ceremonies.

即ち彼等わが聖所にいり吾が臺にちかづきて我に事へわが職守を守るべし

17 And when they enter the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments. Neither shall anything woolen be placed over them, when they minister within the gates of the inner and the outer court.

彼等内庭の門にいる時は麻の衣を衣べし内庭の門および家において職をなす時は毛服を身につくべからず

18 They shall have linen bands on their heads, and linen undergarments over their loins, and they shall not be girded so as to sweat.

首には麻の冠をいただき腰には麻の袴を穿つべし汗のいづるごとくに身をよそほふべからず

19 And when they go forth to the outer court to the people, they shall strip off their vestments, in which they ministered, and they shall place them in the storeroom of the sanctuary, and they shall clothe themselves with other garments. And they shall not sanctify the people in their vestments.

彼ら外庭にいづる時すなはち外庭にいでて民に就く時はその職をなせるところの衣服を脱てこれを聖き室に置き他の衣服をつくべし是その服をもて民を聖くすること無らんためなり

20 Now they shall not shave their heads, and they shall not grow long hair. Instead, they shall trim the hair of their heads.

彼ら頭を剃べからず又髮を長く長すべからずその頭髮を剪るべし

21 And no priest shall drink wine, when he will be entering into the inner court.

祭司たる者は内庭に入ときに酒をのむべからず

22 And they shall not take as wife a widow or one who has been divorced. Instead, they shall take virgins from the offspring of the house of Israel. But they may also take a widow, if she is the widow of a priest.

又寡婦および去れたる婦を妻にめとるべからず唯イスラエルの家の出なる處女を娶るべし又は祭司の妻の寡となりし者を娶るべし

23 And they shall teach my people the difference between holy and defiled, and they shall distinguish for them between clean and unclean.

彼らわが民を敎へ聖き物と俗の物の區別および汚れたる物と潔き物の區別を之に知しむべし

24 And when there has been a controversy, they shall stand in my judgments, and they shall judge. They shall observe my laws and my precepts, in all my solemnities, and they shall sanctify my Sabbaths.

爭論ある時は彼ら起ちて判决き吾定例にしたがひて斷决をなさん我が諸の節期において彼らわが法と憲を守るべく又わが安息日を聖くすべし

25 And they shall not enter to a dead person, lest they be defiled, except to father or mother, or son or daughter, or brother, or to a sister who does not have another man. By these, they may become unclean.

死人の許にいたりて身を汚すべからず只父のため母のため息子のため息女のため兄弟のため夫なき姉妹のためには身を汚すも宜し

26 And after he will have been cleansed, they shall number for him seven days.

斯る人にはその潔齋の後なほ七日を數へ加ふべし

27 And on the day when he enters into the sanctuary, to the inner court, so that he may minister to me in the sanctuary, he shall make an offering because of his offense, says the Lord God.

彼聖所にいたり内庭にいり聖所にて職を執行ふ日には罪祭を獻ぐべし主ヱホバこれを言ふ

28 And there shall be no inheritance for them. I am their inheritance. And you shall not give them any possession in Israel. For I am their possession.

彼らの產業は是なり即ち我これが產業たり汝らイスラエルの中にて彼らに所有を與ふべからず我すなはちこれが所有たるなり

29 They shall eat the victim both for sin and for offenses. And every vowed offering in Israel shall be theirs.

祭物および罪祭愆祭の物是等を彼等食ふべし凡てイスラエルの中の奉納物は彼らに歸す

30 And the first-fruits of all the firstborn, and all the libations out of all that is offered, shall belong to the priests. And you shall give the first-fruits of your foods to the priest, so that he may return a blessing to your house.

諸の物の初實の初および凡て汝らが献ぐる諸の献物みな祭司に歸すべし汝等その諸の麥粉の初を祭司に與ふべし是汝の家に幸福あらしめんためなり

31 The priests shall not consume anything which has died on its own, or which was seized by a beast, whether from the fowl or the cattle.”

鳥にもあれ獸にもあれ凡て自ら死にたる者又は裂ころされし者をば祭司たる者食ふべからず
